SRAM Red eTap Feature Rundown

The SRAM Red eTap groupset prides itself in its simplicity, offering quick and easy installation that isn’t too far from a traditional derailleur system, but without the hassle of wiring. Instead, in its place is a pairing system that takes just a few seconds for each component to sync up. The eTap rear derailleur alignment can also be adjusted while riding with ease thanks to its micro-adjust function.

Powered by Lithium-Ion Polymer batteries, which clip directly on to the back of the derailleurs, the SRAM eTap offers up to 1000 kilometres of riding per charge. A full charge takes a mere 45 minutes, and both the units display their current charge level, which is particularly useful to ensure that you aren’t left cutting your ride short. The shifters are powered by a traditional CR2032 battery and last for up to 24 months of consistent use. Communication between each component is safe and secure, guaranteeing no cross over or interference from outside sources or other riders also running the eTap system.

Riding the SRAM Red eTap is an entirely different, and much more intuitive experience when compared to other Electronic shifting systems. To change up or down on the rear derailleur you’ll have to use both the left and right shifters (Right, UP. Left, DOWN), and to change the front derailleur by pressing both shifters simultaneously. This system may take a few rides to get used to, but will ultimately simplify & improve your gear shifts even further once you’re comfortable. Another key aspect of the SRAM eTap shifters are the level of feedback they provide when changing gear, providing a clear response as it carries out the shift, much like the feel of mechanical levers.

It’s Time To Shift Forward

If a technological advancement clutters the experience, it shouldn’t be called an advancement.

Because it’s a bicycle. It’s supposed to be simple. To make something elegant to the point where it removes what’s in the way... that’s advancement. That is the standard SRAM held ourselves to while developing the first electronic shifting system; SRAM RED eTap.

2017 Specialized S-Works Tarmac eTap

The all new 2017 Specialized S-Works Tarmac is one of the first true top tier racing bikes to feature the SRAM eTap groupset, utilising its flawless shifting technique to push the boundaries of what’s possible in terms of performance and reliability when tackling the most world’s most demanding routes. The Specialized S-Works Tarmac has been developed as a purpose-built all-round race bike, producing an unbelievably light, stiff and reactive riding style thanks to its S-Works FACT 11r carbon fibre construction. The Rider-First Engineered design philosophy allows Specialized to specify every tube size and carbon lay-up for every frame size, creating the optimal balance of rigidity, weight, and responsiveness, so every frame, regardless of size, performs just as it’s intended.

“If you need proof of the Tarmac’s capabilities, just take a look at it’s trophy case, with wins in every Grand Tour and the last two World Championships” – Specialized
